Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I get off the ground?
1 of 7: On both sides of the arena, there are second-storey platforms you can't reach initially. Start by trying to go there.
2 of 7: You'll need the colossus to help you get up there.
3 of 7: You can't climb the colossus this time; you'll have to use another trick you've used before.
4 of 7: You'll need to use the colossus's attack in order to get up to the first platform. Can you see how?
5 of 7: The colossus's stomp attack will help you to get up onto the first platform. Look around for something it could stomp on that would help you.
6 of 7: The square stone tiles next to the platform are loose.
7 of 7: Stand on the stone tile next to the lowest part of the platform. The colossus will stomp on the tile, tilting it upwards, which will allow you to reach the first platform.
